Big fucking whoopee.
But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us but never tell us how many 100% recovered.
Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?
-
tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
-
30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?
You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) and demand to know what the RESULTS are for; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.
The invalid chest thumping here:
Delray Medical Center & St. Mary's Medical Center(Palm Beach, FL) Receive Additional Comprehensive Stroke Center Certifications
The Palm Beach Health Network is the
only hospital system with two comprehensive stroke centers in Palm Beach
County to receive this certification
August 24th 2020 - Delray Medical Center and St. Mary’s Medical
Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network, are now certified from an
additional agency for its comprehensive stroke programs. DNV
GL-Healthcare awarded the new certification to both Delray Medical
Center and St. Mary’s Medical Center for their comprehensive stroke
care, a prestigious designation reflecting the highest level of
competence for treatment of patients who have experienced a stroke. The
Palm Beach Health Network is the only hospital system in Palm Beach
County with two comprehensive stroke centers, and both are designated
with this certification.
“This recognition is confirmation that Delray Medical Center and
St. Mary’s Medical Center continues to provide the highest quality
stroke care in Palm Beach County, and we are encouraging the community
to know the stroke warning signs, and to seek treatment immediately
instead of delaying care,” said Maggie Gill, chief executive officer of
the Palm Beach Health Network and Delray Medical Center. “Our hospitals
are safe, and we are ready to care for patients suffering from strokes,
and who have other chronic and new illnesses that require immediate
medical attention.”
The DNV GL - Healthcare Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification
is based on standards set forth by the Brain Attack Coalition and the
American Stroke Association, and affirm that Delray Medical Center and
St. Mary’s Medical Center address the full spectrum of stroke care -
diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education - and establishes
clear metrics to evaluate outcomes.
“Both Delray and St. Mary’s Medical Centers have thoroughly
demonstrated a high-level of care for patients experiencing a
potentially life-altering stroke,” said Cynthia McCauley, chief
executive officer for St. Mary’s Medical Center & the Palm Beach
Children’s Hospital. “We are excited to receive these recognitions
honoring our teams for the work they do to serve the healthcare needs in
the communities we serve.”
Comprehensive stroke centers are known to be the largest and
best-equipped hospitals in a given geographical area, and are designed
to treat any kind of stroke or stroke complication. A stroke center
certification determines which facility a patient is taken to for the
most appropriate care when a stroke occurs. Both hospitals are part of
the Advanced Neuroscience Network (ANN). For more information on our
